STATESVILLE — Lindsey and Andy Mehall, on behalf of St. Philip the Apostle Church, recently presented a check to LeAnne Hall, principal of Scotts Elementary School in Statesville, as Father Thomas J. Kessler, pastor, looks on.
The donation will benefit the School Lunch Program and the Weekend BackPack Program, which aims to ensure that “children in need have balanced, nutritious food they need to learn and grow.” The backpacks are distributed to children in need through the school system on specific Friday afternoons.
